Ex-Commonwealth Games silver medallist charged with sexually assaulting minor
KUALA LUMPUR: Former national road cyclist Nor Effandy Rosli claimed trial at the Sessions Court today to a charge of sexually assaulting a female trainee, who was 15, last year. The 58-year-old, who was the 1998 Commonwealth Games silver medallist, entered his plea after the charge was read out to him before Judge Norshila Kamarudin. Nor Effandy was accused of sexually assaulting the teenager at about 6pm at a bicycle storage in Taman Desa Keramat, Hulu Klang in June last year. Nor Effandy was a cycling coach when the offence allegedly occurred. The charge was framed under Section 14(a) of the Sexual Offences Against Children Act, read with Section 16(1). It provides a maximum 20-year jail term and whipping. It also carries an additional penalty under Section 16(1) of the same act, which provides a jail term not more than five years and not less than two strokes of the rotan. Deputy public prosecutor Nadiah Malek Fauzie asked the court to set bail at RM15,000 with one surety as the alleged offence involved a minor. As additional conditions, she applied for the accused to report periodically to the police station and to surrender his passport to the court. Lawyer Hamdan Hamzah asked for the bail sum to be lowered to RM5,000 as his client, who has a wife and four children, is his family's sole breadwinner. "My client was released on police bail after investigations. Today, he came to the court of his own accord. "This shows he is not a flight risk. "He is currently working as an assistant enforcement officer at the Kuala Lumpur City Hall, earning RM5,000 monthly," he said. After hearing both parties, Norshila set bail at RM8,000 with one surety and allowed the prosecution's additional conditions. "The accused is also prohibited from harassing or contacting the victim, which could disrupt the case," she said. The court set Aug 1 for mention.
